Notting Hill House Collapse Horror as Residents Flee Crumbling Buildings in Middle of the Night A major emergency unfolded in Notting Hill, west London, overnight after the roofs of several properties collapsed, prompting residents to flee for safety as their homes crumbled around them. Eleven people were evacuated by emergency services in the early hours of Wednesday morning after multiple buildings partially collapsed, sending debris crashing into surrounding areas and leaving at least one exit blocked. The incident, which occurred near the heart of the affluent neighbourhood, triggered a rapid response from London Fire Brigade, who deployed crews to the scene and used ladders to rescue trapped individuals from one of the worst-hit buildings. Firefighters also distributed helmets to residents for protection as they were evacuated from the dangerous structures. According to fire officials, three roofs were affected by the sudden collapse, raising serious concerns over the structural safety of several neighbouring homes. While some residents were able to exit independently, others required assistance to escape the debris-filled properties. A police cordon remains in place this morning, as structural engineers, emergency crews, and investigators continue to assess the damage and determine the cause of the incident. ???Like Something Out of a Disaster Film??? One local resident, woken by the sound of falling masonry, described the terrifying moment: ???There was this awful cracking sound, then crashing. We thought a tree had fallen or a vehicle had hit the house. When we realised it was the roof collapsing, people were running out in panic.??? Others described seeing tiles and brickwork strewn across the pavement, with parts of the street blocked off by fallen debris. Investigations Underway The cause of the collapse has yet to be confirmed. Early speculation suggests it may be related to ongoing renovation work, structural degradation, or recent adverse wea

Haunting moment gang member chases man and stabs him to death shouting 'die, die, die' Man sentenced to life in jail for murder of Sean O?Neill Share on Facebook Share on Linkedin Share on Twitter Download as PDF A 23-year-old man responsible for the brutal murder of Sean O?Neill has been jailed for life. Dellan Charles (08.01.2001), of no fixed address, appeared at Kingston Crown Court on Monday, 17 March where he was told he will serve a minimum of 23 years behind bars. He was convicted of murder on Tuesday, 17 December. On the evening of Thursday, 18 May 2023, following an altercation between two rival groups in Reynolds Road, Hayes, Charles chased and killed Sean in a quiet residential street in broad daylight. After cornering him, Charles used two knives to stab Sean multiple times. During the trial, the court heard how Charles shouted ?die, die, die? during the attack. In CCTV footage, Charles was pictured calmly leaving the scene after delivering the fatal blows, before making his escape by trespassing through nearby leafy suburban gardens. The jury heard how Charles disposed of a knife at a nearby address, before concocting a calculated plan to flee the area. He then went to ground for just shy of a year. Over the course of the next ten months, detectives pieced together the course of events alongside an extensive manhunt. The specialist team of officers then used this evidence and intelligence to capture Charles in Coventry on Wednesday, 27 March 2024, helping secure justice for Sean and his family. The jury heard how Sean was a funny, kind and sociable person and many people have been deeply affected by his tragic death. Detective Inspector Kevin Martin, who led the investigation for Specialist Crime South, said: ?Myself and the team once again pay tribute to Sean?s family who, throughout this distressing time, have shown real strength and togetherness. ?Heartbreakingly, nothing will ever bring Sean back, but today, the man responsible for taking him away from his much-loved family has been forced to face the reality of his malicious actions.? In a statement previously provided by Sean?s family, they added: "We really appreciate the efforts of the Metropolitan Police and the Crown Prosecution Service in bringing about justice, as well as the support we have received throughout this difficult process. "Sean will be remembered for his big heart, charming smile and fun-loving personality. He is incredibly loved by us all and we miss him every day." Metropolitan Police
